A Regional Conversation On the Future of Rural Health Care in Kansas

Join the Kansas Health Foundation, the United Methodist Health Ministry Foundation, and the Kansas Hospital Association in a conversation moderated by the KU Public Management Center. The Consolidated Appropriations Act passed a few weeks ago contained many COVID-specific actions and created a new payment/delivery model for rural hospitals, the “Rural Emergency Hospital”. The REH uses a rational payment approach that has the potential to be a viable solution for health care delivery in rural Kansas communities.
